FARM FAMILY -SUMMER UPDATE-2008 (ABBREVIATED VERSION)

The farm family is scattered all over the world, so here's a "catch-up" with where we all are:

BRETT & BETSY - married June 7th in what had to be the most beautiful wedding ever in Minnesota-I couldn't attend in body, but in spirit, the farm was present on every energetic level possible - Betsy takes the cake for most beautiful bride in the world! - Currently in Oxford, England and visiting Paris, these two are off to Bulgaria in the not to distant future to teach abroad for two years. Follow them via their blog link on the right.

DANA & JAMES - getting ready for the December arrival of Wendilynn (sp.?) - decorating the nursery, continuing with teaching and editorial positions at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. I'm betting on Wendy's arrival as December 13th, Samuel's arrival date - James has a blog link in my blog roll as well.

(NOTE: Blogger photo upload problems from here on out...Photos to come when I can figure out the glitch...*&^%!! From what I understand, many bloggers are having photo posting problems. I wish blogger. com would get to the root of this problem).
